Nope still roaming and no sms. And I have a sprint rom on right now when I reverted back to the au rom I couldnt make phone calls.

What about trying that build.prop with an au rom?


Porting Sense ROMs Take a look at this thread it might help to get you back to full kddi stock.

I'm thinking of trying to port the 3d...

The Hboot is 6.xx something but even when I flashed back to the stock rom I was unable to make phone calls or send cmail to other carriers.

I'm interested in what process you followed to get back to the stock rom. The hboot is 6.xx because you rooted it. To successfully get back to stock, you need to get hboot back to 2.15xxxx or something like that. Also, S needs to be turned back to ON.

If you're still having problems, let me know.

Ok, so I've been working on a personal ROM looking at those based off of Sprints 4.67 base, and the mods they have and what not. So I've been attempting to incorporate a few of these features using our rooted base rom provided by SharpIS03.

I've managed to get working for our ROM:
  • Transparency (Settings and Status Bar)
  • CRT Animation (on and off)
  • Some attempts at new colour theming
  • Advanced Power Menu (Reboot, and Sound options)
  • Volume Rocker: long press to skip music when screen is off
  • Swipe to clear notification panel
  • Native Screenshot (power+home button)
  • Battery Bar
  • Extended Quick Settings *(alignment needs some adjusting)

This is what I've got working so far. I will also work at optimizing it as best I can.

I'm running also with ca1ne's underworld-sbc kernel and papa smurfs' Smurfed Out script.
Also I've attempted to 'de-sense' the ROM so ssLauncher is the home replacement.

If anyone would like to try it out PM me. If there are any suggestions for other Mods let me know. I'm willing to give it a go if I can.

Great work! I'd like to try this out. I sent you a PM before I replied to this, so I am interested in learning how you added the tweaks and then created a flashable, modified stock ROM. Excellent!

Not a flashable ROM yet

@SharpIS03
I sent you a PM.
I stopped trying to compile in ROM form as I didn't really get any interest.
I've been trying again recently, however I think I know what some of the problems are.
If you were willing to help that would be great.

I sent you a pm with the link to a d/l, but as I said that one was a bit broken. I made some edits before work, and cooked up a newer version, and this seems to have gotten rid of the issues with wimax and wifi and the framework mods are working. I left it u/l so I should be able to have it available for d/l tonight. Also I put the wrong version of the launcher on it! There will most likely be a red line through it saying licence check failed as it's the paid version:banghead:
You can download the free version and replace the paid one, but I'll make sure to change it. Keep forgetting that this is shared!

Japan EVO users:
I've added some pic attachments to give people an idea of the visuals/mods.

Anybody want to test this out?

Try contacting @SharpIS03.
He might still have a copy of his guide for downgrading and rooting the evo.

    No way to root any of the Evo's with updated software at the moment. The Japanese one because of their hboot and the US version because they fixed the GB exploit.

    So, will it be that adb commands will be needed to downgrade to the original software and then after that it's just a process of using revolutionary to obtain root and apply CWM? Will the custom rom being flashed be the one you're creating or will it be the one of the files you can find in this forum?

    Yeah, writing about it does make it seem so simple...wish it was:confused:!!

    Yes, to the first part. The custom rom is the one I created, so WiMax and all that stuff for our Japanese Evo should work! I'll provide the custom rom.

    Well, hopefully it is. I finished going through the whole process again, and am successfully back on the latest build with root and other things working as far as I can tell.

    When you're ready, send me a private message. We'll go from there.
